Obligatory 1901 post. Does anybody’s dealer still do the gift? Mine said they don’t.

My Chief Dark Horse made it into an Indian Motorcycle Munich x MOTOISM shoot
Just wanted to share something that made me pretty happy.
My Indian Chief Dark Horse was recently used for an short Instagram shoot by Indian Motorcycle Munich together with MOTOISM. Since I'm running MOTOISM turn signals on the bike, they also got some nice detailed shots of them.
It's honestly just really cool seeing my own bike featured like this, and I have to admit I'm a little proud of it. 😄
Thought you guys might enjoy it too!
(I uploaded the video directly here since not everyone uses Instagram or can open the link)

Sport chief rt vs…
Hey there! Looking at a a new bike. I have multiple years of experience and am currently on 2 sv650s (that I’m fixing up) and a 2026 gsxr750.
I love my gsxr, but after doing a 30mph charity ride, my butt was begging for mercy and my bike was pissed at sitting at fan temp the whole ride.
I wanna get a cruiser to sit next to the other bikes. My top choices are the low rider s, bonneville bobber, abd sport chief rt. Coming from a gsxr750, I want a cruiser that has some nut and will excite me when I ride it (I want it to throw me back).
The Bonny is my favorite aesthetically. I just can’t stop staring at it. But I don’t know if the engine will give me the excitement I crave. Plus, I don’t plan to have bags all the time, but would occasionally like to be able to take it a few hours away with my camera equipment
The low rider I really only like for the engine. The new m8 is a killer engine. However, It doesn’t excite me otherwise and I don’t know if my budget would have me looking for a gen 1 m8 or a gen 2 h.o.
The Indian sport chief rt is awesome! I love the looks, the high quality suspension and brakes, the smaller bags. However, for such a big engine, it seems pretty down on power. I don’t know if I would regret getting it over the low rider considering the massive power difference abd the lack of at least having oil cooling. Plus the gearing is wicked short.
What do you guys think? I want a bike that can easily cruise at 80mph without stressing the engine. I wish the Indian engine had the specs of the low rider, or that the Bonny had the specs of the speed twin rs. They would be a no brainer. Who here has ridden then and can give some insight.

Time for a new clutch
Noticed some clutch clip last weekend on a trip while in gears 4,5, and 6th. Are there any clutch kits you would recommend for my 2017 Indian Chief Darkhorse? Thanks in advance

Mirrors up or down on a Bobber?
Just switched mine from up to down. Kind of like it, kind of don’t. What’s your opinion?

My bike grew a mustache
Picked up some highway bars from my dealer today and they were so easy to put on I feel like I did it wrong. Stood back and looked at it and thought it looks like a mustache. Now to put some accessory lights on to light up those night roads.

Funny story
I’m 31 (relevant for the story)…. Last night at a bar/pizza joint my father in law got talking to some Harley guys who were on a boys trip. My father in law used to be a semi pro motocross racer so he and the Harley guys are really chatting it up; I tried to chime in here and there and I think because of my age the Harley guys were kinda like “yea whatever” they didn’t pay me much mind which didn’t bother me I just sat there and enjoyed my beer. Until my father in law goes “oh man you should see this guys Pursuit. WOW IS IT NICE!! And man the features it has it’ll blow you out of the water it’s the nicest bike I’ve ever ridden!” At this point all 3 Harley guys get wide eyed and are like “you have a Pursuit!?! Tell me about it, show me pictures.” As I was showing them my bike and talking about the features and where/how much I’ve ridden they were blown away. I really do love my bike

For the first time, my Ride Command+ Ride Tracking actually worked for an entire trip. The latest Ride Command and app updates actually fixed quite a bit!
This feature has long been advertised as part of the Ride Command+ subscription service but has never worked all that reliably. The recent updates to the app and Ride Command software seems to have dialed that in though! 2024 Pursuit Limited. Pretty impressed with the results!

Mystery oil leak
2026 Indian Sport Scout Sixty Limited (970 mi)
Need help locating where the oil is leaking from.
The oil is somehow only getting splattered on that one specific spot. Not seeing any oil splatter any where else.
Its been happening ever since i got bike a couple weeks ago.
I already took it in for the break in maintenance/inspection and forgot to mention it to the mechanic. Everything was good in the inspection.

Melted spot on pipe
While I was on a long roadtrip I didn’t notice until I had to stop and get gas but the anchor for my right side bag had come out and part of the bag was riding on the pipe.
I had zip ties in my tool kit and was able to keep going without issues.
Unfortunately its left a burnt spot.
Should I take sandpaper and clean it up and use some high temp black paint? It’s not exactly matte black like the engine but might not be noticeable if I do matte.
Thoughts?

UPDATE
About a month ago my Scout developed this noise⬇️
Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianMotorcycle/s/bzLvfxrDmY
Indian finally got the engine torn down and found this. Output shaft bearing cage failure. I’m still wondering what could have caused it to fail since the dealer said it wasn’t from lack of lubrication. Overloaded somehow? What does the hive mind think? Anyone else see this before? I know the Challenger had a similar issue from poor assembly lubrication, but with 24k on the odometer I wouldn’t think that would be a problem in my case.
